SECTION X: Not later than six months after the effective date of this act, distribution companies, as defined in section 1 of chapter 164 of the general laws, shall submit to the department of public utilities for approval proposals to offer an opt-in time of use rate, defined for the purposes of this section as a rate designed to reflect the cost of providing electricity to a consumer charging an electric vehicle at an electric vehicle charging station at different times of the day, but the rate shall not include demand charges. Such proposals shall include a separate opt-in residential time of use rate for electric vehicle owners or lessees. For department approval, such proposals shall encourage energy conservation, optimal and efficient use of a distribution company’s facilities and resources, and equitable rates for electric consumers.
